Chapter Eighty-Three: Lost
"Hmm, does this count as the integration of production, education and research?"
After waving his hand to let Han Shan leave, Li Yuanjia was half-lying on the table with his hands on his cheeks, and suddenly felt that it seemed to be very interesting.
Wang Pu and Niu Da Niu Er's main task is to improve papermaking, which has never changed, and even in the future, Li Yuanjia will not allow them to change. But in the past year or so, Niu Da Niu Er has brought seven or eight apprentices back and forth, all of whom don't know a single big character, but work very hard; In the next two years, Wang Pu will also take Li Zhong and them to learn how to control a "scientific research project", and they will also become teachers.
Now they have to start a "paper mill" and turn the results of their research into industry, isn't it the integration of production, education and research?
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanjia suddenly became overjoyed: "I didn't expect that in my previous life, I had only heard of the integration of production, education and research, but in this life, I actually started to do this in Datang thousands of years ago...... Haha, this should be what the integration of production, education and research means, right? β
However, for his own papermaking workshop, Li Yuanjia is indeed very confident.
Not to mention anything else, according to the current momentum and Wang Pu's confidence, by the first half of next year at the latest, they will be able to make white paper that is much better than the top products of Lijia Paper Mill! And because Li Yuanjia often "intentionally or unintentionally" prompts, Wang Pu and they also figured out a lot of ways to reduce manufacturing costs, such as using coal to boil raw materials, using quicklime and extracts of various plants to improve the quality of white paper, designing a device specially used to scoop up paper liquid, etc., these are definitely more expensive than the secret methods of Lijia Paper Mill!
Of course, Li Yuanjia is completely guessing about this, and the reason is the price that the Li family paper mill gives to these papers!
It's too expensive.
The top products of the Li Family Paper Mill are generally only supplied to the royal family, and at most they are just given to those top families, so they don't dare to make more money even if they make money. But Wang Pu's paper can only be priced at two-thirds of the price of Li's paper mill, and at the same time, it also brings 100% profit to Li Yuanjia!
Think about it, are these two levels the same level in terms of competitiveness?
And if Li Yuanjia really builds a super workshop in the future, it is bound to further reduce the cost of papermaking, and then the rhythm of the Li family paper mill will be completely crushed in the future!
"The only question is, do you want to eat it all?"
Li Yuanjia, who was very confident in the future of his paper mill, began to walk back and forth in the study.
It's just that Li Yuanjia doesn't want to consider whether the other party will be angry and attack his own paper mill, after all, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, one of the core figures of the royal family, and the younger brother of the emperor, he doesn't need to worry about these problems at all. Even if you take into account the other party's "Li" character, it is at most his own brother or cousin and uncle, Li Yuanjia is not stunned at all.
Speaking with quality and price, what are you not convinced?
But is it all exterminated? He had to think about it.
Although he is not afraid of almost anyone, there is only one person whose attitude has to be considered, and that is His Majesty the Tang Emperor! As Li Yuanjia's elder brother, will he allow his younger brother to do business so blatantly?
There are two sides to this matter.
From the perspective of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, if the prince of the royal family is in business, it is a good thing for Li Shimin, after all, while concentrating on making money, this kind of business can also have a bad reputation, which means that Li Yuanjia has no idea about the throne at all.
But on the other hand, it is not good to say that the prince of the royal family is doing business, and he does not rule out that his confidence is inflated, and Li Shimin, who is not afraid of the rebellion of his younger brothers, is furious, not only issued an order to reprimand, but may even seize his property - in this era, it is not impossible!
So this matter, the more Li Yuanjia thinks about it, the more headache he gets.
"Forget it, I don't want to."
After turning around the study more than a dozen times, Li Yuanjia simply slapped the table and made up his mind: "Build a papermaking workshop first, and train skilled workers while continuing to improve!" As for buying and selling, let's take the high-end route first...... Keep a low profile, at least get through the past two years! β
After thinking about the matter, Li Yuanjia naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it's not just the paper workshop, but many of his things now. Some are generously laid out, whatever you see; Some were made by blacksmiths and carpenters, and then hidden in Li Yuanjia's own study or bedroom, and no one knew except for the closest ones; There are even some Li Yuanjia who just drew drawings and hid them on the bookshelf in the study, and they haven't even seen Han Shan and Chunyan!
is still the same sentence, Li Yuanjia's identity is too embarrassing......
"Boom! Boom! β
Just when Li Yuanjia was still pondering, there was a knock on the door of the study again, and then Chunyan, who had been allowed, walked in: "King, Huang Zhongliang asks to see you." β
"Huang Zhongliang? Okay, let him wait outside. β
Li Yuanjia frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered the reason why Huang Zhongliang came to see him.
This guy is now also the "chief designer" of the sewer system in Luzhou City, and he asked him to take Li Zhong and other five students to re-plan in detail, presumably with results? Luzhou's sewer project, but he intends to leave a "footprint" to the city, whether it will stay here in the future or not, he hopes that thousands of years from now people will still remember the city's first systematic sewer project, who left behind......
After seeing Huang Zhongliang, sure enough, the guy quickly took out three or four pieces of paper after saluting: "King, these are the planning books that I wrote with Li Zhong and them, and I invite the king to look at them!" β
While saying these words, Huang Zhongliang's old face couldn't help but blush.
To say that the things in this are really what he figured out, after all, although Li Zhong and the others are not stupid, they will not be able to figure out the craft that Huang Zhongliang has learned all his life in three or five days. But the so-called planning book, Huang Zhongliang can't catch up with those boys, and before he starts discussing with Li Zhong and them, he doesn't even know what should be included in it.
"Oh?"
Hearing the three words of the plan book from Huang Zhongliang's mouth, Li Yuanjia subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, barely stopped the urge to burst into laughter, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first, I'll take a look."
The combination of ancient people and modern vocabulary is indeed a gimmick!
However, after Huang Zhongliang left, Li Yuanjia picked up the less than four pages of the plan and looked through it, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, King Xu put his hands behind his back a little melancholy, and began to look up into the distance: "Sure enough, I'm still too naΓ―ve!" It is indeed an impossible task to expect to cultivate a few truly useful talents in one or two years! β
And just when Li Yuanjia looked at the sky with his hands in his hands and was disappointed in his heart, Chunyan, who was waiting not far away, once again had a golden light in his eyes, grabbed Liu Mei and flashed a peach blossom on his face: "Liu Mei, look at you, look at it, the king is looking into the distance again......
